Um, these are not only so delicious, they’re so EASY!
I had this Key Lime marshmallow thing the other day and was so surprised by how well they complimented each other! Who knew? I decided to make my own spin on the combination with these no bake bars. No bake bars are perfect if you’re cooking with kiddos because they can do each and every step with you. Mix, pour, put in the fridge and then BAM! Your bars are done! These are so refreshing and each bite tastes a little bit like summer. Enjoy!
This recipe made 9 bars.
Shopping List
2 cups of crushed graham crackers
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 (7 oz) container of marshmallow creme
1 cup of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
3 tablespoons Key lime juice and zest (it took me 2 Key limes)
Line a 9×9 baking dish with foil allowing for the foil to come out of the top about two inches (so that you can easily grab it when the bars are ready and pull the foil out of the dish). Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray and set aside.
In your food processor, pulse 2 cups of your crushed graham crackers with your melted butter until combined. Press this mixture across the bottom of your pan to form a crust. Set aside.
In your mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer your cream cheese, powdered sugar and marshmallow creme until smooth. Next, stir in your whipped topping followed by your Key lime juice and zest. Pour this mixture down over your crust. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours (up to 24). When you’re ready to serve, remove the baking dish from the fridge and pull the bars out by grasping the foil overhang. Cut bars into squares and serve. Refrigerate when not enjoying.

Can you taste the cream cheese? We’re not fans of cream cheese, I’m wondering if the marshmallow creme and cool whip would mask it.
